Groups the branch entities concerned with the discipline's own foundations, history, methodology critique and global scope rather than any single substantive subject: History of Psychology traces how the field's schools and methods developed, Theoretical Psychology examines its conceptual and philosophical foundations, Critical Psychology questions the discipline's own assumptions and social role, and International Psychology studies the field's practice and organization across countries. A branch centered on a specific mental process, population or setting belongs under one of the other eighteen groups instead.
